ANNUAL MEEETING
Officers Were Re-Elected
The annual meeting of the North
Huron Plowmen's Association was
held in the Town Hall, Brussels, on
Friday, January 11th, A good repre-
sentation of the townships in the North
of the County were present.
Mr. Geo. Feagan, Goderich, presi-
dent of association, was in the chair.
In his opening remarks Mr. Feagan
reviewed the program for last year and
thanked the directors for their co-op-
eration,
The secretary, Elston Cardiff, M.P..
Brussels, read the minutes of the last
annual meeting, from which there was
a good deal of interesting discussion
brought up,
The 'auditors report showed a fav-
ourable balance in the bank, but it was
the feeling of the meeting that consid-
erable more money would be necessary
to finance the local committees expen-
ses, in Connection with the Internation-
al Plowing Match, which is to be held
at Fort Albert Airport in October of
this year.
The old slate of officers were return.
ed to office, as it was the feeling of
the meeting that they would be more
familiar with the necessary details for
the local day at the International.

- The Huron-Bruce Farm Forum met
at the home of Mr, and Mrs. Harold
McCorick with the attendance of 21,
The discussion of the evening was "Are
National Farm Organizations Effect-
ive?" It was asked how the individual
gets his views through to the directors
and officers.of the C.F.A., these were
by the Farm Forums. It was thought
the members should press their case
through the directors and officers of
the C.F.A., and all efforts should ex-
panded on farm organizations.
The last question asked was "If
Farm Organizations were effective in
Canada" and all members thought the
Federation was doing a good job to
stabilize prices for the farmer and hope
they continue to keep prices at a de-
cent living level. The remainder of the
evening was spent in progressive euch-
